Hotel Theme: Quaint

Mark Lamthi’s guesthouse is located at a nice spot in Rrogam near the end of the asphalt road. It has 3 dorm rooms (one of the rooms has an amazing wooden ceiling – kind of like a little Granada), 1 double room and a grassy field where you can camp for free!

The Guesthouse of Mehmet Selimaj now consists of two buildings; the old family house (oldest house in the village!) with two dorm rooms, and the newly opened building with comfortable private rooms (2017). Nicely decorated!

The most popular guesthouse at that end of the valley. Kol and his family are especially good at demonstrating local culture, dressing up and dancing on the lawn – fun things like that! The restaurant is small and basic but super cute. Also only 4km from the Qafa e Valbonës (Thethi) Trailhead. Open all year. […]

Guesthouse Demush is a beautiful old house surrounded by many flowers — hostess Edmira just loves flowers. She also owns a mini market operating from a container next to the road (sells useful things like potato chips, soap and drinks), and her husband, Demush, does horse guiding. They are open all year. Camping is also […]

Relax is one of the first accommodations on the road when arriving in Valbona, nicely located right next to the Valbona river. It has a big and good restaurant, really nice outdoor seating by the river, some small wooden family cabins and other comfortable family rooms. There’s also a bridge to cross the river, if […]

Our pick for nicest guesthouse in Valbona Center. Big, old and authentic, but with new bathrooms and beds. The restaurant is small and basic, but set back next to a little stream. Very pretty. Host Kelmend is also very active in the community, working to give locals a voice with government.

Guesthouse Adenis is run by a very friendly and charming family. The younger members of the family all speak English. Rooms are comfortable & clean . Your host Adenis, who is all of 18 years old, has been working with tourists since he was oooh, maybe 7 years old and is now an experienced mountain […]

Adem and Faridja – who to my mind are a bit like the Albanian George Burns & Gracie Allen – welcome you to their traditional highland home. The house has 3 shared rooms with each 5 beds, and one luxurious private room with 1 double bed and 1 single bed in a newly made building, […]

Guesthouse Lindi is a dream of another life, set on a beautiful shaded property in the middle of Gjelaj, with nice green lawns, outdoor seating and dozens of beehives. Intelligent and charming young summer hostess Aurela speaks good English (and some Spanish and Italian), and lives with the family during high season. She can guide […]

Danjel’s family has a nice old house in the Gjelaj. Most of the family speaks only Albanian, but young Danjel speaks some English & can also serve as a guide. He also has two horses, mostly working to carry luggage over the Theth pass. The family recently invested in some renovations of the guestrooms. Open […]
